Pray for the Family of Debalal

[234] prayers in [21] nations have been posted for Debalal's family.

He was killed by the very man he was praying for. In the early morning hours of Oct. 20, 2013, Debalal, an elder in the Believers Church of Nepal, was killed while praying for a sick man. Debalal, 36, was called to the house of Kumar Sardarat around 3 a.m. At first, he was reluctant to go because of the late hour and because Kumar and his family are devout Hindus. As Debalal prayed, Kumar left the room and returned with a sharp, curved knife, called a khukuri, and an iron rod. He beat Debalal severely with the iron rod before slitting his throat, killing him. None of the neighbors, who were near enough to be able to hear the attack, intervened. Debalal leaves behind a wife and son. According to a VOM worker, Debalal's wife is very depressed.

  • Psalms 61 Hear my cry, O God,
    listen to my prayer;
    2 from the end of the earth I call to you
    when my heart is faint.
    Lead me to the rock
    that is higher than I,
    3 for you have been my refuge,
    a strong tower against the enemy.
    4 Let me dwell in your tent forever!
    Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah
